Happy weekend! This time, I am going to share about Japanese cosmetic brand which you can find at Copia Indonesia, Face Recipe. This is my first time purchase Face Recipe products, so I think it will be good if I share my first experience using them. I chose Sparkling One Color Eyeshadow no. 01 and 03 which all shimmery, 01 is more like Light Gold and 03 is more like Rose Gold ( they don't name the color, so I just name them anyway ).

ONE SWATCH :

TRIPLE SWATCH :

No. 01

No, 03

PACKAGING :

Basic black color plastic with doff lamination. I think it's quite elegant and also easy to carry since it's so light-weighted.

TEXTURE :

A powder based eyeshadow with shimmer/metallic result. They said people usually use it as highlighter, but I think the metallic particle is quite big, which could gives fake result if it used as highlighter.

RESULT :

No. 01 (Light Gold) one is more pigmented than the No. 03 (Rose Gold). At those pictures, I swatched several times to my eyelid but still turned out like that ( fyi, I didn't wear any eye makeup base or eyeshadow base ). I almost cannot see the pink color, just a clear shimmer eyeshadow. I think it's also because the color tone is slightly similar with my skin tone. Moreover, you can see the metallic particles all around my eyes especially on the lashes. Since the particle is quite big, it can be seen clearly :(

Pros :

- Elegant packaging

- Large volume for single eyeshadow

- Pigmented ( for the Light Gold color )

- Quite affordable ( less than $10 )

- Colors are quite pretty

Cons :

- Not pigmented at all ( for the Rose Gold color )

- Metallic particles are too big and fall off easily

Overall, this Sparkling One Color Eyeshadow from Face Recipe is just okay for me, but honestly I am not falling in love with the result because I always prefer shimmer eyeshadow which can be used as both eyeshadow and highlighter ( Sephora & Naked's shimmer eyeshadows are still on my top list ). However, I still can use them with any matte eyeshadow. If you guys want to try those colors, I recommend you to use them as eyeshadow only, don't use as highlighter :)

Rose gold one looks so good!I actually love your blog, so I would love to keep in touch with you. Do you want to follow each other on bloglovin and instagram? If you do, please let me know. xBeataba.com
